Hi all. I posted because here shortly, I'll be installing a system that no one has tried before. I have an Eclipse 8443 right now and a Zapco Studio 300x (150 WRMS x 2 @ 4 ohms) amplifier. I ordered a set of Oz Audio Matrix Elite components. I'll be installing the components onto the Lucid adapters(probably try to install a DCI I have on order at the same time) and the amplifier in the trunk on a rack I bought on here. I have very high hopes for this setup. I will post on here when it is complete.

Here's a summary of my costs to this point. I got the amp from a shop in Boulder, CO, the HU from a shop in Rapid City, SD, the amp wiring in Casper, WY, the RCA's in Glenwood Springs, CO, the speakers from www.sounddomain.com, the amp rack from Pas2knut, and finally the DCI and speaker adapters from Lucid. My listed costs include shipping if the orders were from the internet.
